Children’s Services New Campaign “Just Like You” Encourages Albertans to Become Foster Parents

Alberta.ca Release

With a recent decrease in the number of foster parents, the Alberta government is raising awareness of the need for more foster parents through a campaign with hopes of creating 100 additional foster placements over the next year.

Just Like You, which launches Feb. 3, urges Albertans to picture themselves as foster parents and consider opening their homes to children and youth in care.

The more foster homes there are, the less likely it is that children and youth in care will have to leave their home communities or be separated from their siblings. Helping kids stay connected to their sources of support plays a valuable role in ensuring the safety and well-being of children and youth in care and helps them thrive. Read Full  Release
